A Nightly Wish

Come,

Walk with me gently

Through that tempered night

Where softened light 

Bestows itself 

Beyond gas-lit avenue

Come,

Dance with me

Slowly

While crickets create and

Love orchestrates 

Our moonlit symphony

Come share with

Till morrow

Those twinkling orbs where distant

Lords cast each nightly wish we borrow-

Stay with me 

Always

Through each blissful night,

Where tendered light finds us,

And the dawn shall find me best

For loving you

I found this to be a refreshing read with a positive spin working for it

[Perdition]

AH..Thank you sir!

This is different from the others I have read from you. Freer maybe...not as complex...perhaps relaxed in the softening of simple bliss? hmmm...STILL...gorgeous art, dear poet :)

[Perdition]

I like the "hmmm".. just have to make them last longer..perhaps more in the hmmmmm..kind of way..lol. Thanks…it is retro and it is a chance to reawaken some good original bliss back into the artery from whence it came~

[Caladoscope]

Very nice! Harkens back to Keats, Moore with a hint of Rilke. Crushingly romantic.

[Perdition]

Oh that I should write all my poetry from this foundation and angle of love perfected…I would indeed. Heavy sigh and sharp shrug and turn as I walk slowly with causal stride into the burning sun of truth. See you on the other side…I hope~

[Caladoscope]

Stunning response. Your writing surely sends me.

[theshygirl]

damn this is a great poem! so intense, and so beautifully written
good job !

[Perdition]

I'm sorry but I really don't appreciate that effing damn language shoot it all to hecky darn~..lol…AND so jk. Thank you so very VERY much! Your timing is impeccable and the review so very heart warming..Namaste~Whatever that means ;P

[Kristallo]

A love poem! And a damn good one. It's not often I see you soften in such a way as this, I adore your dance in moonlit symphony. And the stanza, "Those twinkling orbs where distant Lords cast each nightly wish we borrow" is literary gold, for me. There is such beauty and tenderness expressed here, a rare treat. Thank you for sharing.

[Perdition]

Okay…so now you're just flat out mocking me! …and I've really really missed that so Thanks poet:) Now let's keep that money machine rolling... After all...Great poets don't need any slee zzzzzzzzz : )~Yep…a love poem : ( Wanna shoot me in the leg before I completely lose control of my art or would you settle for just a good firm slap across my soul?

[Kristallo]

I don't think any soul slapping would be necessary! And i'm not mocking you, silly! I love this poem, and I like seeing the tender side of your spirit here and there. It was a refreshing retreat on an otherwise tedious day. :)

[Perdition]

Oh..Are you sure?…cause I was really feeling good about being mocked by a worthy poet but if you say so…no soul slapping either?? Wow..going to be a long weekend. Respect and love??... What the hell am I suppose to do with that?? : )

[Kristallo]

Fine, then. Have it your way.

What the Hell was that poem about?!!? LOVE? Seriously, you p***y, grow a pair and write about real problems! Ain't nobody got time for that.

[Perdition]

YAhhhh…Wonderful!!….Thank you..You always know what I need. You forgot about the, " don't you dare even considering going to sleep before you write something decent you b*****d " part btw…We can work on your margin removal later ..It's a good start though. Now get to painting me before you lose the light…lol. Maybe I'l write about the suffering of cheese and crackers..Call it: "Graded Sharp on a Rye Cry"…Yeah..think I need food or at least whiskey. Alright!! Thanks Darling: )

[Kristallo]

Genius! Lol

Hello from across the way,

I love this side of you... tender, sweet and passionate.

I know you are this way always, but it's nice to read it at times.

Over and out on this side of the Pacific...

alisa ;-)

[Perdition]

This is going to be the death of me as this is one of the first poems I wrote back in the traveling days and now my voice, having changed wants to work with it HOWEVER in the end some things you must leave alone. Thanks A.~

[Alisa Js]

It's beautiful just as it is...

...why mess with exquisite?

🐤

[Perdition]

Because I am me and that is a can of worms so Can open Worms everywhere ??? But Thanks!

[Alisa Js]

You are quite welcome. ...

[Alisa Js]

You have inspired me to post one of my very early poems... and see... the progress or lack thereof, I have made as well in my writing...

Over and out...

[Perdition]

Hey! Don't blame me..you saw what happened to me..lol.. Just keep on keeping on. Remember we're trying to get you into that new genre via the old. But as long as your words are real and the screams are loud…yeah ..don't blame me : )
